hi people just need some advice as my washers have stopped working on my car . i have checked the fuses and they are all ok. as i thought the fuse would blow before the motor burns out . if the motor does need changing how hard are they to get at and change
any advice would be great.

You sure they're not just frozen?
I know, stupid suggestion, but it's possible.

Put some de-icer on the nossles and sit with the engine running for 15 mins, I thought mine were broken because I even had de-icer screen wash in there but it was still frozen for days, it just takes a hell of a lot of thawing out
